War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
This is shitty within a shitty context occurring at a shitty time (CNN): A federal appeals court on Friday dismissed a lawsuit by congressional Democrats alleging President Donald Trump violated the emoluments clause of the Constitution by refusing to allow lawmakers to review and approve his financial interests. The ruling is a major triumph for…
This comes dint of a post from a year ago, and was found originally here — horrifying in its perspective now more than three years later: And from that post: Some old near-forgotten lore, though still funny, now after time, we realize the situation is worse than we figured back then, and real, real ugly.…
Yesterday, a peculiar day in history — ‘You get the idea. This abundance of twos and zeros makes Feb. 2, 2020 the first international palindrome day in 909 years (since 11/11/1111), and it won’t happen again for another 101 years (12/12/2121) on the Gregorian calendar.’ And also yesterday, a factoid note appeared on my iPad:…
Seemingly, the nowadays a drama-like perpetual-motion machine — in a snap of time this morning (a measured dog-walk length), comes this: When I’d left on the walk with Leroy, my daughter’s Basset/Greyhound mix, the pose of the sad-depressing state of the Senate impeachment trial was evidently-naturally sad and depressing. Flashes of dictators and coup-like scenarios…
America in 2020 is on the precipice of history — this grand 250-plus-year-old experiment in governance is currently on unhinged footing, teetering at the edge of a deep-fall cliff, the plunge like chaos usually witnessed in third-world countries every few years. Or maybe Brazil nowadays, or Australia. The next few months will tell the tale…
Here it is the third day in the defense of the T-Rump in his Senate impeachment trial and the proceedings are batshit-crazy, mainly because it’s obvious the orange turd is guilty, but now there’s John Bolton’s book manuscript — “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir,” a copy of which was leaked over…
The T-Rump can’t help himself, one truly-vile, nasty-ass piece of work: Schiff responds — via Reuters this morning: Asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” if he took the Republican president’s social media post as a threat, Schiff said, “I think it’s intended to be.” As lead impeachment manager, Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee,…
Playing out in America’s TV land today is a clear case of a way-weird George Orwell/Terry Gilliam movie, developing a couple of plot-lines running concurrently — one a perspective in concise, factual-legal summations of the constitutional/legal abuse of power, and obstructed of justice found in the actions of the T-Trump; the second a shit-show of…
Here we go again today, round three in the shiftiest courtroom on earth, the US Senate impeachment trial of the T-Rump, the lowest-form president in the history of the American experiment. Moscow Mitch and the rest of the head-banging T-Rump toadies are replacing reality with drama-queen theatrics. Lying for Republicans is as natural as breathing,…
Another warning the T-Rump is unfit to be president — he doesn’t have any empathy for anyone for anything, even US military: Via The Week this morning: Speaking to reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump was asked why he has repeatedly said no Americans were hurt in the strikes despite reports…
